Over here, we are thankfully saved from such grief 😉 “

No dominant FTP spot delivery service there?

BTW the answer is that the largest file would be the one for QuickTime/Compressor. It doesn’t seem to lower the data rate for the slate for example, where there’s virtually no change from frame to frame. Both Telestream Episode and Matrox Max don’t waste bits where they’re not needed. It’s another good example of what’s wrong with Apple’s H.264 implementation.

Content is distributed as either 50Mb/s I-frame MXF or 15Mb/s LongGOP MPEG-2, delivered via Signiant or Aspera, nothing too picky after that.

The problem on this end is that while DGFastchannel has a national Standard Def spec, they don’t have an HD method of delivery. DGFastchannel’s Chicago office has their own spec which is tied to Apple’s H.264 codec (YUCK!).
